Did you know that le soviets are the exact same evil as le Nazis??? (I'm very smart)

Double genocide theory is a form of holocaust denial you dipshit

When did i say anything even remotely like that just that soviet denazification wasn't as thorough as some like to pretend?

Ok sorry misread your comment then

How could the soviets been more thorough in your opinion?

some were given a pass for convenience and even if much much less than the west "ex"-nazis still about 10% of large parts of east german goverment and people like Arno von Lenski and Kurt Nier got away with their crimes, maintained power and shielded friends because they agreed to collaborate with soviets letting this happen the wrong call .

Arno von Lenski and Kurt Nier

  1. DDR was not part of the Soviet union
  2. Rehabilitation back into society should be an option
  3. Denazification was still way more thorough in the DDR than the BRD

Edit: Thanks for the correction @Edie@lemmy.ml

DDR and GDR is the same thing, just in German and English. You're looking for BRD or FRG (again, German and English)
